Runners are advised to carry one to two bottles of water. The event is cupless; no paper cups are provided at aid stations. A chip timing system records finish times and runners must display bib numbers at aid stations for check-in. There are no remote drop bag locations; bags may be left at the start/finish area.

Crews are allowed at designated locations but parking restrictions apply at some trailheads. Pacers are not permitted for any distance. Packet pickup is available the evening before in downtown Superior and on race morning at downtown and at the Superior Public Pool. The overall race cutoff is 4:00 PM.
